Mangaluru boy sets world record with 26 underwater flips in 37 seconds at Emmekere swimming pool
Mangaluru: In a remarkable achievement, 13-year-old Hadrian Vegas from Mangaluru set a new world record by performing 26 underwater somersaults in just 37 seconds at the Emmekere International Swimming Pool. The record was officially recorded by Dr. Krishnamurti, State Director of Nobel World Records.
Hadrian, a Class 8 student of Carmel CBSE School, achieved this feat under the guidance of his coach, Aromal A.S., who expressed pride in Hadrian’s accomplishment. "Usually, flips are done while holding the edge of the pool, but Hadrian managed to perform 26 flips consecutively in the middle of the pool, which is a remarkable achievement," said Aromal.
Hadrian's potential was first noticed during a summer vacation, leading to special training sessions at Prestige International School’s pool, which later continued at Emmekere. His father, Anil Vegas, a civil contractor, credited his son's success to the keen observation and training provided by Aromal.
The event was attended by notable figures, including Arun Prabha, GM of Mangaluru Smart City Limited, Praveen D'Souza from the Sports Department, and representatives from Prestige International School and Carmel CBSE School.
Hadrian has now set his sights on achieving a Guinness World Record in the future.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
